Sagra d'la picula

In the lower Val d'Arda valley, nestled among the hills of Emilia-Romagna, the Sagra d'la Picula of San Pietro In Cerro comes alive each year. This festival celebrates the town's patron saint while preserving a culinary tradition deeply rooted in local farming heritage. The star of the show is Picula ad Caval, a rich and savory horse meat stew that represents a precious link to the past and the authentic flavors of popular memory.

This gastronomic event is far more than simple folklore—it's a genuine opportunity to rediscover and taste forgotten recipes, prepared using traditional methods passed down through generations. Through the Sagra d'la Picula, the local community keeps the cultural identity of the territory alive, transforming the dining table into a meeting place where history, flavor, and conviviality intertwine in an unforgettable experience.
